Your agent gives you a Miner I module, which has a better yield but takes longer for one cycle to finish compared to the Civilian Miner module that comes with your corvette by default. Fit it to a [[Venture]] mining frigate if you have one from the tutorial or the [[Business career agent|Business Agent missions]]. If not, any other ship will do, although [[Frigates#Exploration|exploration frigates]] may be preferred due to their large cargo capacity. Since this mission does not have any scripted combat, you may want to unfit your weapons and mount as many miner modules as your ship allows to expedite the process. Note that you may get a warning about "insufficient cargo space" if you're flying a Venture - you can safely ignore it, as the game somehow "forgot" that your Venture has a special ore bay which can hold many times more ore than you need to mine for this mission.

The mission has created a "private" [[deadspace]] pocket for you with a single Veldspar asteroid; warp to it (to warp to the deadspace location, right-click in space or on the drop-down menu from the Info Panel). Once you're there, target the asteroid and activate your mining lasers. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes for you to mine the required 1,000 units of Veldspar. Since there are other missions that require quite a bit of Tritanium that can be reprocessed from Veldspar, however, it is recommended that you keep mining for a few more minutes and get a little more, as it will save you a few trips later (about 6,000 would be sufficient to cover this mission and subsequent ones without having to buy minerals on the market). Once you're done, return to the agent's station and start a conversation with the agent to complete the mission.

The mission states that it will not accept Veldspar mined from other locations, and the game enforces this rule by inserting a checkpoint that you can pass by starting to mine in the mission location. Once you pass the checkpoint and receive a message box from your agent, the source of the Veldspar does not matter as long as you have at least 1,000 units at the time of turn-in.

'''{{co|#9ef37c|Objective:}}''' [[Reprocessing|Reprocess]] Veldspar into at least 150 units of Tritanium minerals.
 
  
−
The ''actual'' objective is to turn in 150 units of Tritanium to the agent - therefore, if you want, you could just buy the Tritanium off the [[trading|market]] (or, if you did the Tutorial, use some of the Tritanium you received as a reward). The price of Tritanium on the local market will fluctuate based on supply and demand, but will usually be around 5-6 ISK per unit (so 150 units will cost you around 1,000 ISK, which is a negligible amount of money).

If you want to do this mission the "normal" way, take some of the Veldspar you almost certainly have left over from doing [[#Making Mountains of Molehills (1 of 10)|mission 1]], right-click on it in your Item Hangar, and select "Reprocess". Veldspar (like any other ore) can only be reprocessed in stacks of 100 (don't worry about getting the stack size exactly right; any excess will simply not be reprocessed); 100 Veldspar reprocess into 415 units of Tritanium (you can find this out by either looking at the [[Reprocessing#Ore|reprocessing table on the wiki]], or by right-clicking on the Veldspar in-game, selecting "Show Info", and looking at the "Industry" tab) under ideal conditions (100% reprocessing yield). As a beginner character you will typically have around 50% reprocessing yield (which can be improved by training skills), so you will need to reprocess about 300 units of Veldspar in order to get the required 150 Tritanium. Note that you can divide a stack of Veldspar (or any other item) by pressing shift and drag-and-dropping it. Reprocessing is instantaneous, but you do pay a small fee.
+
* Should you wish, you can instead buy Tritanium off the [[market]] or use any leftovers to complete the mission.

This mission introduces you to basic manufacturing. Your agent gives you a Blueprint Copy ([[BPC]]) for 1MN Civilian Afterburner modules.
+
* To manufacture items, you can right-click on the BPC (Blue Print Copy), select "Use Blueprint", and supply the required minerals for building them. To produce two modules, increase the "number of runs" to 2 to get an updated quotation. Wait for the manufacturing job to finish, open the industry tab in the station menu on the upper right side of your screen, and click "Deliver" to obtain the items.
 +
* You cannot produce more than two modules from the BPC you were given - BPCs (unlike Blueprint Originals (BPOs)) can only be used a limited number of times (in this case, 2).
 +
* Producing all two of the required modules costs 128 Tritanium.
 +
* As in several other missions, you can simply buy the module off the market and turn it in instead. In addition, you can also use the "Corvette trick". Take out the 1MN Civilian Afterburner module from your Corvette, trash the ship, and click "Board my Corvette" button on the station menu - a new one with all the default modules will be produced, allowing you to take out another afterburner module.
 +
* You may need to right-click the Afterburner and "repackage" to turn it in (if you are turning in a used one).
 +
* Expanded Cargohold I increases the size of your ship's cargohold capacity at the expense of reduced structure hitpoints and maximum velocity.
  
−
If you want to complete the mission as intended (recommended if you do not have any prior experience with production), right-click on the BPC and select "Use Blueprint". This will open the Industry window, showing you what materials you need to manufacture the module and how long it takes. Since you want to manufacture 2 modules, increase the "number of runs" to 2 to get an updated quote. Note that you cannot produce more than two modules from the BPC you were given - BPCs (unlike Blueprint Originals (BPOs)) can only be used a limited number of times (in this case, 2). You should have enough Veldspar left over from previous missions to reprocess into the required amount of Tritanium, which in this case is 128. If not, you can always buy more on the market. Once you have enough Tritanium, start the manufacturing jobs (as the two jobs run sequentially, this takes about ten minutes in total). Once they are completed, open the Industry window, select the "Jobs" tab, and click on "Deliver".

Fit up a ship with both a weapon and a mining laser (your Corvette does the job just fine), undock, and warp to the deadspace location (sometimes it's in an adjacent star system). Inside the deadspace pocket there will be several asteroids, start mining them with your mining laser. After a minute or so a single weak rat shows up - destroy it. It drops a cargo container when destroyed; loot it, and return to your agent. While you're flying back, right-click and select "Show Info" on the "Production Assistant" you just "rescued", noting with amusement both the description and that it falls under the "Livestock" item category. Capsuleers in EVE can have a dark sense of humour.  
+
* Fit your ship with both a weapon and a mining module.
 +
* When you mine Kernite ores inside the mission's deadspace pocket for a minute or two, a single rat shows up.
 +
* The rat drops a cargo container when destroyed and you can loot the Production Assistant that you need to turn in.

* As you fly back to the station, feel free to check the amusing description of the Production Assistant you just "rescued", along with the fact that he falls under the "Livestock" item category.
 +
 
 +
The asteroids in this site contain around 7 000 m3 of Kernite, which is otherwise only found in low-sec, null-sec or Wormhole space. It is worth spending the additional time in your Venture mining all the ore, be it for profit or later reprocessing into minerals for your own use. Mining and refining the Kernite also completes the [[AIR Career Program]] industrialist Kernite tasks.

Your agent gives you a BPC for a Frigate (probably the same one you received in the [[Exploration career agent#An Introduction to Cosmic Signatures (2 of 5)|second exploration career mission]]) and asks you to manufacture it. You're probably very familiar with the process by now (from, amongst other things, [[#Making Mountains of Molehills (6 of 10)|mission 6]]), but manufacturing a proper combat Frigate will take a few more kinds of minerals, which you can either [[reprocessing|reprocess]] from ore or [[trading|buy from other players]]. Since you'll be needing non-trivial amounts (from a new player perspective) of minerals, it probably makes sense to check the prices (if you are buying some/all the materials) in nearby stations to avoid paying far above their market value. It will probably take a bit of flying around to bring all the minerals to your agent's station.

Of course, you can go the "easy" route and buy a finished Frigate off the market - or even turn in the Frigate you received from the second exploration career mission. To do the latter, unfit all the modules (you can do this quickly by right-clicking on the ship in the Ship Hangar and selecting "Strip Fitting"), then [[repackage]] the Frigate.

This mission nicely illustrates that, in EVE manufacturing, time can be exchanged for money and vice-versa. Keep this in mind should you go deeper into manufacturing - you can try to acquire all the necessary materials yourself, or you can pay someone else to do it for you (by buying their ore, minerals, or modules/ships via the market - remember, in EVE, almost everything has been manufactured by players), and it's up to you to find the right balance and make the most of both your time and (in-game) money.

The Industrialist - Producer (used to be called the Industry career agent) is one of the five career agents in the game, which show new players different types of PvE activities in EVE. The Industrialist - Producer missions teach you about mining, reprocessing, manufacturing, and hauling. In total these missions pay about 1.5M ISK in rewards.

Making Mountains of Molehills (1 of 10)

Type Mining
Objective Mine 1,000 units of Veldspar.
Ship suggestion Venture
Rewards Miner I (granted upon acceptance)


  • Miner I has a better mining rate but longer cycle time compared to Civilian Miner.
  • Since this mission does not have any scripted combat, you may want to unfit your weapons and mount as many miner modules as your ship allows to expedite the process.
  • You may get a warning about "insufficient cargo space" if you're flying a Venture - you can safely ignore it, as the game somehow "forgot" that your Venture has a special ore bay which can hold many times more ore than you need to mine for this mission.
  • The mission has created a "private" deadspace pocket for you with a single Veldspar asteroid. Once you warp there, target-lock the asteroid and activate your mining lasers.
  • If you aim to complete this and all subsequent missions without buying any ores/minerals off the market, you will need to mine about 6,000 units of Veldspar.
  • Once you pass a checkpoint by starting to mine in the mission location and receiving a message from the agent, the source of the Veldspar does not matter as long as you have at least 1,000 units at the time of turn-in.

Making Mountains of Molehills (2 of 10)

Type Industry
Objective Reprocess Veldspar into at least 100 units of Tritanium minerals.
Rewards Venture


  • Should you wish, you can instead buy Tritanium off the market or use any leftovers to complete the mission.
  • Reprocessing can be done by docking in a station, moving the ore to the Item Hangar, right-clicking on the ore and selecting "Reprocess". Note that you pay a small fee for reprocessing.
  • Ores can only be reprocessed in increments of 100 - if you have 99, for example, you need to acquire at least one more unit to reprocess them.
  • If you have a new character (with around 50% reprocessing yield), you will need at least 200 Veldspar to acquire 100 Tritanium through reprocessing.
  • You can divide a stack of ores (or any other item) by holding down the shift key and drag-and-dropping the item.

Making Mountains of Molehills (3 of 10)

Type Industry
Objective Manufacture (or otherwise acquire) one unit of 1MN Civilian Afterburner.
Rewards 1MN Civilian Afterburner BPC (granted upon acceptance); Expanded Cargohold I


  • To manufacture items, you can right-click on the BPC (Blue Print Copy), select "Use Blueprint", and supply the required minerals for building them. To produce two modules, increase the "number of runs" to 2 to get an updated quotation. Wait for the manufacturing job to finish, open the industry tab in the station menu on the upper right side of your screen, and click "Deliver" to obtain the items.
  • You cannot produce more than two modules from the BPC you were given - BPCs (unlike Blueprint Originals (BPOs)) can only be used a limited number of times (in this case, 2).
  • Producing all two of the required modules costs 128 Tritanium.
  • As in several other missions, you can simply buy the module off the market and turn it in instead. In addition, you can also use the "Corvette trick". Take out the 1MN Civilian Afterburner module from your Corvette, trash the ship, and click "Board my Corvette" button on the station menu - a new one with all the default modules will be produced, allowing you to take out another afterburner module.
  • You may need to right-click the Afterburner and "repackage" to turn it in (if you are turning in a used one).
  • Expanded Cargohold I increases the size of your ship's cargohold capacity at the expense of reduced structure hitpoints and maximum velocity.

Making Mountains of Molehills (4 of 10)

Type Mining / Industry
Objective Destroy hostile NPCs and mine enough Veldspar to reprocess into 7,000 units of Tritanium.
Rewards Mining Laser Upgrade I when accepting the mission. Miner I


  • You have to destroy two rogue drone NPCs (rats) as part of the mission. Fit any ship with at least one weapon, warp to the deadspace area, and destroy the rats.
  • Then you can either go back to the deadspace location in a mining ship (the rats will not respawn) and mine enough Veldspar (about 3,500 units) to refine into 7,000 units of Tritanium, or you can buy the Tritanium from the market.
  • If you were following this guide, you may well have enough Veldspar and/or Tritanium left over from previous missions such as mission 1 to complete the mission without any additional mining or market purchase.

Type Courier
Objective Transport Crates of Electronic Parts (40 m³) to another station.
Rewards 1MN Afterburner (granted upon acceptance); Expanded Cargohold I


  • Don't forget to put the mission item into your ship's cargohold before you undock.
  • Clicking the "set destination" button will plot a course to the station where you have to drop off the item; the next stargate/station on your route will be highlighted in yellow on your overview.
  • Once you get to the destination station, you can start a conversation with your agent remotely to complete the mission, but you must return to them to start the next one.
  • If you're not sure where to return to, you can look up any agents you have previously interacted with in your address book (accessible through the Neocom > Social > Contacts or the Peopleandplaces.pngContacts "button" in the Neocom shortcut bar) in the "Agents" tab.

Making Mountains of Molehills (6 of 10)

Type Industry
Objective Manufacture (or otherwise acquire) 20 units of Cap Booster 25.
Rewards Cap Booster 25 BPC (granted upon acceptance)


  • As with many other missions, the quickest way to complete this mission is to buy the Cap Boosters from the market.
  • To manufacture items, you can right-click on the BPC, select "Use Blueprint", and supply the required minerals for building them. To produce 20 charges, increase the "number of runs" to 2 (this item is manufactured in batches of 10) to get an updated quotation. Wait for the manufacturing to finish, open the industry tab in the station menu on the upper right side of your screen, and click "Deliver" to obtain the items.
  • Producing the two runs of the required charges costs 329 Tritanium, 80 Pyerite, and 25 Mexallon.

Making Mountains of Molehills (7 of 10)

Type Courier
Objective Transport 20 x Cap Booster 25 (20 m³) to another station.
Rewards Damage Control I


  • As usual for hauling missions, don't forget to put the mission item into your ship's cargohold before undocking.
  • Overdrive Injector System I increases the ship's velocity at the expense of reduced cargohold capacity.

Making Mountains of Molehills (8 of 10)

Type Industry
Objective Manufacture a faction-specific Civilian Shuttle.
Rewards Faction-appropriate Civilian Shuttle BPC (granted upon acceptance)


  • To manufacture the shuttle, right-click on the BPC, select "Use Blueprint", and supply the required minerals for building it. Wait for the manufacturing job to finish, open the industry tab in the station menu on the upper right side of your screen, and click "Deliver" to obtain the item.
  • Production costs 2,640 units of Tritanium.
  • Unfortunately, you cannot circumvent the manufacturing by buying the shuttle off the market this time - your agent wants a specific kind of Civilian Shuttle which isn't available on the market.

Making Mountains of Molehills (9 of 10)

Type Encounter
Objective Mine some ore, destroy the ambushing rat, and retrieve Production Assistant.


  • Fit your ship with both a weapon and a mining module.
  • When you mine Kernite ores inside the mission's deadspace pocket for a minute or two, a single rat shows up.
  • The rat drops a cargo container when destroyed and you can loot the Production Assistant that you need to turn in.
  • As you fly back to the station, feel free to check the amusing description of the Production Assistant you just "rescued", along with the fact that he falls under the "Livestock" item category.

The asteroids in this site contain around 7 000 m3 of Kernite, which is otherwise only found in low-sec, null-sec or Wormhole space. It is worth spending the additional time in your Venture mining all the ore, be it for profit or later reprocessing into minerals for your own use. Mining and refining the Kernite also completes the AIR Career Program industrialist Kernite tasks.

Type Industry
Objective Manufacture (or otherwise acquire) a frigate.
Rewards BPC for a frigate (Amarr Tormentor /Caldari Bantam /Gallente Navitas /Minmatar Burst) (granted upon acceptance);
Fast Hauler ship (Amarr Sigil /Caldari Badger /Gallente Nereus /Minmatar Wreathe)


  • The easiest way to complete the mission is to simply turn in the same frigate granted to you when you accepted Explorer mission 2. To do so, repackage the frigate if it was assembled before handing it in.
  • You may also buy the frigate off the market, as usual.
  • Actually manufacturing the frigate requires a wide variety of minerals, some of which are reprocessed from ores only found in low-sec or null-sec systems.
  • The table below lists the required amount of minerals (note that each BPC could have different material requirements depending on the material efficiency - the table uses 2% material efficiency as given from the agent)
